Bloomberg clueless about plane photo op?

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says he is furious that the federal government flew a presidential Boeing 747 and a fighter jet near ground zero. The incident on Monday caused a brief panic among workers, who said they were not notified in advance.

Bloomberg says the flyover so near the World Trade Center site showed ''poor judgment'' and was insensitive. He says he is furious that the NYPD and another city agency were notified last week, but did not tell him.

If he had known, Bloomberg says he would have tried to stop it.

Is this guy trying to throw his police department under the bus to save face? What happened to his "get over it" attitude?

I was watching the Today Show this morning and on their local newsbreak shown every half hour, they warned about this photo op telling people not to panic if they saw it and even invited people to email any photos, so it seems that at least one network knew this was going to happen.

omg great reaction from bloomass, he was upset who cares! how did he respond? if this was an actual attack on nyc he just failed. I feel sorry for the folks who were looking out the windows and saw this shit going on, i think i would of had a heart attack.

The more I read about this the more I become convinced it was for a photo op; a photo op for th epeople who were getting a rid on AF1. Somebody was being given a joy ride on AF1 and part of it was a flight around the Statue of Liberty and lower Manhattan. Very cool for the joy riders. I want to see a list of people on board that aircraft.Can you imagine if this had happened on W's watch.

With the possible exception of the people who work at the Pentagon, I don’t think people outside the NY Metropolitan area get it. The sight of panicked people evacuating buildings and flooding into the streets is lost on someone who has no personal connection to the events of 911.The stupidity and base arrogance of our government agencies is just mind-boggling. What else will you keep from us under the guise of State Secrets? The disconnect between Federal and local governments is disturbing and downright dangerous. You, the people who have sworn to protect us have failed miserably. You are not worthy of the respect of the American people.

a photo op for the people who were getting a ride on AF1. ------------------

Exactly !From the position of the F-14s trailing they had no perspectives to shoot good photos.

Joyride or some kind of black operation.

With the age of Photoshop and computers why would they go through so much trouble only to photograph a 747 from behind ?The sky wasnt even clear at 10 AM. We are being told bullshit it was a joyride !!

I voted for Obama, which doesn't mean I have to be up his ass and agree with every single thing he does. This was a stupid photo op initiated by his White House. Why is it that anytime someone disagrees with an action by his office, they are called prejudiced? By the way, couldn't they have done this on a Sunday when people weren't at work?

It's Emperor Bloomberg who's showingthe callous indifference to those who suffered during the 9/11 attack by employing this stunt to elude idiots like yourself into believing he cares about the "average Joe" in NYC.

P.S. jerk-off...I lost friends at the WTC while Mike was, no doubt, spreading some more caviar on his morning toastand inquiring whether that would affect him financially!
